It is, therefore, the distribution and arrangement of business, over which the barrister has not the slightest control, that produce the possibility of a barrister, who accepts briefs as they are delivered, being sometimes compelled to omit attending upon some of them. We think we have shewn, that, to destroy this possibility is impracticable, except, as we observed, by counsel never receiving but one brief in his chambers at a time. To explain seriously why such a practice would be out of the question, almost passes our powers of gravity. But the matter may be stated thus shortly: that, of course, if the practice were good for anything, it should be general; and, as no one counsel could, on an average, hold more than one brief in a month, one result would be, that, in a few years, there could be no such thing as an experienced counsel, if a Bar existed at all; but the still more probable result would be, that no men of education would be found willing to practise. But then it is said, when the client pays his fee, he intends to have the services of his counsel, and pays for them, and expects to have them. This is the false assumption on which the whole argument against the Bar is based. The client does no such thing. He, or at least his attorney for him, who ought to inform him if he does not, knows full well, that, when he retains a barrister in full practice, he does so, subject to the possibility, the existence of which we have shewn to result from arrangements beyond the barrister's control. He knows that numbers besides himself are seeking for the assistance of the particular individual whom he retains. He retains him expressly because he is eminent,—because he is much sought, because, from the general estimation in which he is held, it is inferred, and in most cases correctly inferred, that his reputation is justified by his talents. The suitor, or his attorney, knows full well, that Mr. A. or Mr. B. is retained in so many causes, that, if all or any two or more of them happen to come on together, Mr. A. or Mr. B. must be lost to somebody. But he hopes that unfortunate somebody will not be himself; he speculates upon that chance, and he knows perfectly, when he does retain the favourite counsel, that he is purchasing a chance. The fact is, that an attorney, when he delivers a brief, never asks whether the counsel will undertake to be certain to attend ; and he does not ask, because he knows that counsel never can nor will undertake any such thing, and would refuse the brief rather than do so. tainty which was never in the slightest degree guaranteed to them,-that certainty, which, if they asked it at the hands of a barrister in full practice, would unquestionably be refused.

A GENERAL REGISTER OF TITLES. Two years ago, when we devoted some space in this (ante, vol. 9, p. 207), we believed we were advocating Journal to the advocacy of the principle of registration, the unpopular side of the question. Since then, public opinion, or rather, the opinion of the influential class of landowners, has taken a decided turn in favour of a general register, and there can be little doubt, that, at no very distant period, the experiment, which, in the reign of Anne, was tried and signally failed in Middlesex and Yorkshire, will be repeated more advisedly and under better auspices. The Society for promoting the Amendment of the Law has devoted much attention to the subject, and is, we believe, still engaged in investigating some questions of detail. Two reports, which have emanated from one of the committees of that learned body, will be found in the ninth number of the Law Review. The first of those reports is devoted to the same topics which formed the subject of our article of 1845, already alluded to; namely, the general policy of a register of title in the abstract, and the details of the plan proposed by the late Mr. Duval, a plan founded title. That report concludes with the following reon the existing system of retrospective deduction of marks:-"The plan of registration which we have been considering involves no direct interference with the present system of conveyancing beyond the imposition of the ceremony of registration, as an additional requisite to the validity of transfers of real property. But, as Mr. Hayes has shewn, (2nd Real Prop. Rep. Append. We have said more than once in this Journal, and p. 446), the probable effect of a perfect register on the we say it again, the cure of the evil complained of, if proposed plan would be ultimately to establish a uniit be an evil, is in the hands of the public and of those versal system of trusts, and to render the legal title who represent them, standing between them and the wholly unimportant. Another scheme for a register of Bar. If those who, in point of form, retain, or those a directly opposite nature has been proposed; its essenwho in the end pay for retaining barristers, do not like tial characteristic being to render notice of trusts unimportant in all dealings with estates for the purpose of to purchase the chance of an eminent man's services, alienation or incumbrance, and to provide for the pronothing prevents them from obtaining, with a close duction, in every case, of a clear legal title, unincumapproximation to certainty, the services of persons not bered with any trust or any derivative legal title other so eminent as to be torn in pieces by a crowd of eager than that of a mortgagee, judgment creditor, lessee, or clients. The public may have mediocrity with certhe like; so that every vendor or mortgagor, however limited his beneficial interest may be, will, on the face of tainty, or pre-eminence with uncertainty. They usually the transaction, appear to be the absolute owner, subprefer the latter, and perhaps in general wisely; but ject only to any such simple derivative legal title as when they have made their choice, let them not cast may be admitted on the register, in the same manner as, censure upon the Bar, because they do not have that on the Stock Exchange, a trustee appears to be absocertainty for which they never bargained,-that cer-lutely entitled to the stock which he transfers. See | Mr. R. Wilson's 'Outlines of a Plan for adapting the Machinery of the Public Funds to the Transfer of Real Property. This plan is now under our consideration, and we propose to make it the subject of a separate report." We were favoured with a copy of Mr. Wilson's pamphlet some years ago; but, we confess, we were so startled by his bold proposal to do away with all retrospective deduction of title in transactions of sale and mortgage, that we did not think it necessary to occupy our readers' attention with what seemed to be a utopian scheme. We were not blind to the commercial advantages of a system which would provide at all times and for all estates a trustee or trustees invested with absolute dominion and power of alienation, but we saw, or fancied we saw, in such unreserved confidence, more risk and instability than would be endured in this country. Further reflection has convinced us that we were wrong, and we now regard Mr. Wilson's ingenious plan in a light more favourable even than that in which he himself and the committee of the Law Amendment Society have ventured to place it. It is true, that the machinery by which he proposes to work out his principle differs as strikingly from those recondite arrangements which are now managed with so much art in Lincoln's Inn, as Liebig's laboratory does from that of Van Helmont; but the principle is one which was invented by the conveyancers themselves, and has long been applied, as a matter of course, in dealing with the principal estates in the country-applied, that is to say, in an imperfect manner, and so as to secure but a small portion of the advantages offered by Mr. Wilson's plan, and to occasion much more risk than it involves. In short, Mr. Wilson's scheme is nothing more than an improvement and amplification of that contrivance, which is now universally adopted in welldrawn settlements of real estate-the power to sell and give discharges. The policy of this usual clause in settlements is well understood. No one can say that it may not, at some time, be advantageous for all the objects of the settlement, that the estate, or a part of it, should be sold; and as the parties beneficially interested may not then be competent to act for themselves, absolute dominion over the estate is conferred on a body of trustees, and provision is made for supplying vacancies among the members of that body. By these powers the estate and the produce of any sale are placed at the absolute mercy of the trustees, and this is daily done without hesitation in settling the largest estates in the country. Mr. Wilson proposes to do no more or rather, not to do so much; for his plan provides checks and safeguards, which the present system wants. The plan is shortly this:-To provide a register for the purposes of alienation only, being the only register to which a purchaser of the fee simple need look; wholly distinct from the register of subordinate or equitable interests, (if it should be deemed expedient to have such a register), just as the title derived from the trustees for sale under a settlement is distinct from, and independent of, the titles of the various persons beneficially interested under the settlement. On this register, at its commencement, the estate will be entered as belonging absolutely to a single owner, or to several joint owners; all reference to subordinate interests, except such simple interests as mortgage leases, &c., being excluded. On the death of one of several owners, the title will (for the purposes of the register) vest in the survivors; on the death of a sole owner, the title (i. e. the power of disposition) will vest in his executor or administrator. The alienation by the registered owner or owners will confer an indefeasible title; and on the instrument of transfer being presented to the registrar, the entry of the title of the alienor will be cancelled, and an entry of the alienee's title will be substituted. Thus there will at all times be an owner on the register competent to act, and his title will be conclusively manifested by a single entry in the register. By means of apt provisions for caveats, stop-orders, &c., sufficient protection against the abuse of the large disposing power thus entrusted to the parties on the register may be provided. Thus much by way of introduction to the following detailed explanation of the scheme, taken from the report above alluded to: "The necessity of deducing a retrospective title seems to be the one great obstruction which at present impedes the alienation of real property. For whatever increased facilities of transfer may be afforded by the removal of the cumbrous technicalities of attendant terms; or by curtailing the verbiage of legal instruments; or again by recording the elements of the abstract of title it is in their tendency to simplify the long detail of retrospective history that such reforms must be principally beneficial. The mere instrument of transfer might be left to simplify itself if the title were made simple. Now, is retrospective deduction of title a necessary evil or not? "There are several general considerations which point towards a negative answer to this important inquiry. For instance, it seems absurd to require more evidence in an amicable transfer than in a hostile litigation. The mere possession of the ostensible owner is a title against all the world till affirmatively impeached on specific grounds, but the most willing purchaser pleads the general issue to his vendor's title, and puts him upon the proof of the whole of it. "Again, it seems a waste of labour to require the same thing to be done several times over. An estate is sold, the purchaser first inquiring into its adventures for the previous sixty years. Presently it is resold, and the same tedious narrative of undisputed facts is subjected to the critical acuteness of a second conveyancing counsel. However, the second purchaser is satisfied, we will suppose, and wishes to raise money on mortgage. The mortgagee goes into the inquiry again. Every fact, though undisputed, must be affirmatively proved; and the proof must be repeated every time the estate is dealt with. "If this were some remnant of ancient forms, inconvenient at the moment, but gradually wearing itself out, it might be tolerated; but, on the contrary, our system of titles seems to progress only in complication. The more frequently real property is dealt with, the more laborious it becomes to deal with it. Every transaction which is occasioned by increased commercial activity, or promoted by judicious amendments of the law, adds a new chapter to the future abstract of title; and it is usually found that the last twenty years of a modern title fill as many sheets of the abstract as the first forty years. "The committee have thought it right to mention some of the antecedent considerations which have led them to entertain so great an innovation as the abolition of retrospective deduction of title. If a further reason for this were wanted, they would dwell on the effect of retrospective titles on the transfer of small properties. It has been justly observed by a recent writer, that the time is fast approaching when the expense of any dealing with real property will be so great as utterly to preclude the poorer classes from the acquisition of land." Practically speaking, small properties cannot be dealt with, except as articles of luxury-the large proprietor is debarred from selling, and the poor man from buying, by the expense of the transfer. Retrospective titles, then, are not merely a legal inconvenience, but a great social evil. "The next point to be considered is, how are these titles to be got rid of? They have been dispensed with in Prussia and other parts of Germany, but only by means of a degree of government interference, which would dependence on trustees. And when it is considered how scarcely be tolerated in England, nor would, indeed, be large a mass of funded property is held under trusts, easily applicable to the complicated limitations of En- and how well (speaking generally) such trusts are adglish settlements.

Now the cause of this remarkable facility of "For it must not be supposed that derivative interests transfer seems to be that the legal ownership of funded belonging to persons in being would necessarily be reproperty, instead of being cut up into fractional portions, gistered in the names of their proprietors, immediately or estates,' when effect is to be given to derivative in- against the ownership of the property affected by them. terests, is always vested in some recognised person or On the contrary, the scheme under consideration propersons as an entire thing, however much ordinary or vides ample machinery for the registration and protecpresumptive right of the legal owner to the enjoyment tion of trust estates. of the property vested in him, may in some cases be controlled or modified by trusts or personal duties contracted by him for the benefit of others. "There would in fact be two registers, the one comprising what may be called the legal estate, namely, the ownership of the land and that of each derivative interest registered in its proprietor's name as above mentioned; and the other being a subordinate and dependent register of equitable interests or trusts. "Thus, the distinction between the title to land and the title of stock seems to arise from a difference in the modes adopted in the two cases for giving effect to derivative interests common to both. And if this be so, "And the practical difference between the two it is at least deserving of the most mature consideration, classes of registered interests would be, that the regiswhether, as retrospective titles have been dispensed with tered proprietor of every legal interest would be a nein the one case, they might not be got rid of in the other. cessary party to an unincumbered transfer of the land, "The most prominent feature in the title to stock is, so that a transfer, if made without his concurrence, as has been mentioned, the registration of the owner- would be subject to his interest; whereas the regis ship as an entire thing in the name of the actual pro-tration of an equitable interest would only suspend prietor, and the transmission of the registered ownership, in its entirety, from hand to hand. Now, in proceeding to apply this principle to real property, it is obvious to remark, that it might admit of some considerable development. The ownership of the land might be registered subject to a derivative interest, such as a mortgage, a lease, or the like; and the derivative interest itself might form the subject of a subordinate registered ownership. An estate might stand in the name of A. as owner, subject to a mortgage standing in the name of B., to a lease in the name of C., and even to a settlement in the name of D. And the estate, the mortgage, the lease, and the settlement would be transferable like funded property, because all would stand registered, in like manner, in the names of their respective owners. Moreover, it would seem that this kind of registered ownership might, if it were thought desirable, extend to every derivative interest belonging to a person in being. But interests limited in favour of unborn descendants would have to be registered in the names of trustees. And here the committee arrive at a point which they are anxious to consider at the outset, namely, the bearing of such a trusteeship on the security of contingent interests. "Efficient precautions against forgery being for the present assumed, contingent interests could not, at any rate, be placed in a greater peril than that to which a large class of them were subject under the common trust to preserve contingent remainders. And if it be said that this latter risk is now removed, it may be answered that the power of selling and exchanging, which is still a common form in every settlement, involves a risk of exactly the same kind. If such a power is only to be exercised with the consent of some person in being, a similar restriction may be provided by the plan of registration which the committee are about to consider; and if without consent, then the estate is already placed in the power of trustees. "It may be concluded, then, that contingent interests would not be placed in any new peril by their proposed the completion, or rather the complete effect of a transfer, not concurred in by its proprietor, until after the expiration of a notice transmitted by the registrar to be registered equitable proprietor; that is to say, the legal proprietor would have to concur actively, the equitable proprietor passively, if it were intended to discharge his interest. The legal register would, as has been mentioned, be an adaptation and development of the present register of funded property; the equitable register would be an application and extension of the protection afforded to the owners of equitable interests in such property by the writ of distringas. "Having disposed of the question of security, the committee will now proceed to a more particular description of the plan of registration, which has been brought before them for abolishing retrospective deduction of title: premising that although described for the sake of greater clearness as a comprehensive machinery extending over the whole of England and Wales, the plan in question might, in the first instance, be tried on a small scale and at a trifling cost in any district possessing a tithe commutation map of the first class, and afterwards be extended by degrees to the rest of the country. "Let it be supposed, however, that we have a national map on the scale of a tithe commutation of the first class, divided into parishes, and engraved for sale in small compartments. "Let each material unit of real property (such as a field or a house) situate within a given parish be distinguished by a number on the appropriate division of the national map. "Let each parish have its register of the properties contained in it, founded on the map, and provided with two blank columns, one for the value of each unit of property, and the other for the date of the first registration of the ownership of it, as presently mentioned. "Let the properties in the parish be separately valued at periodical intervals of time for all purposes of general and local taxation, and let their values be entered in the appropriate column of the register of properties. "When the legal ownership of the properties in the parish has been ascertained in the manner presently proposed, let the date of the first registration of such ownership be inserted in the remaining column of the register of properties, and then let the whole of the statistical information collected as above mentioned be printed. "The register office would be a central one, situate in London. A parish would be placed under this office, on its own application, signified by a resolution at a vestry meeting. "One of the parochial officers would thenceforth be constituted the local agent or servant of the central office. His duties as local registrar would be extremely simple, as will appear in the sequel. in the sequel), its distinguishing number would be subject to continual change; and forgery would thus be prevented by a precaution similar to that which prevents (speaking generally) the forgery of transfers of funded property, namely, by the concealment from an intending forger of the number of the certificate in the one case, as of the amount of the stock in the other. "Joint owners would hold duplicate copies of the issued certificate, but would be guarded against the forgery of each other by private marks or numbers upon their respective copies. "Any information contained in the register would be furnished at a moderate fee to any applicant, always excepting the number of the current certificate, which would be kept secret, inquiries being made by refer ence to the numbers of the properties on the published map. "The landowner might have arranged his registered units of property in his certificates, according to his discretion, combining or separating his titles at pleasure; and he might change the arrangement as often as he pleased by surrendering the existing certificates and taking out new ones. "A commissioner from London would hold a meeting on the spot, as if he were about to enclose a common. He would have before him at the meeting the engraved map of the locality, and the statistics of the properties delineated upon it. He would call for and receive statements, in writing, of the names and addresses of persons claiming to be registered as the legal owners of "If a registered unit of property were to be divided, the respective properties. In very many cases these it would be surveyed at its owner's expense; a map claims would be undisputed. In many other cases the shewing the divisions of it would be registered and liparties interested would readily concur in the nomina- thographed; and one of the lithographs would be antion of one or more of themselves or their friends to the nexed to each successive certificate issued for any of legal ownership. In disputed cases the commissioner the divided portions of it. would register the name and address of the person in actual possession or receipt of the rents; who, by being thus invested with the legal estate as the representative of all persons concerned, would be restored to the position of the ancient freeholder. In some few extreme cases of disputed and very confused titles, the commissioner might be unable to discover who was in possession or receipt of the rents, and then the property would remain registered in the name of a public officer till the parties claiming to be interested in it could settle their differences amicably or judicially. "An entire parish might be re surveyed at any timeat its own expense, if the properties contained in it had been much changed by building or otherwise. "A SALE would be effected by surrendering the current certifi cate of ownership, with a short transfer indorsed upon it. The surrender might be made by sending the indorsed certificate to the central register office, or depositing it with any local registrar for transmission to London. And new certificates would be issued from "By these means the legal estate in the proper-vered out to him either in London or at any local the London office in the purchaser's name, and delities contained in the parish would become vested in a body of registered proprietors; and conveyances would thenceforth be effected upon short printed forms like those used for the transfer of funded property. "The registered title would be subject to the risk of concealed equitable claims for a period long enough to allow ample time for their registration. The committee would propose five years, with a moderate extension in favour of persons under disabilities, limited to an extreme period of twenty years from the date of the first registration of the legal ownership. "Existing derivative interests, such as mortgages, leases, and the like, would be admitted to the legal register on the application of the person claiming to represent them, at the peril of an action for slander of title, if registered without reasonable and probable cause. And a derivative interest so registered would be transferable like the registered legal ownership of the land itself. "The proposed system of registration might thus be started without any investigation of existing titles. After the lapse of a few years, every unregistered interest would be invalidated, and the whole title would appear upon the register; and the machinery would then work as follows: "The registered landowner would be the holder of a certificate or certificates expressive of his ownership. The certificate would, in fact, be an office copy of a page in each of two duplicate-books kept at the central and local register offices, and the issued certificate would be distinguished by the number of the page of the recorded certificates. And as the certificate would be surrendered and replaced by a new one, on the occasion of each dealing with the property, (as explained office, according to his convenience. "AN EQUITABLE MORTGAGE accompanied by an unregistered memorandum of dewould be effected by a mere deposit of the certificate, posit. "A LEGAL MORTGAGE would be effected by surrendering the current certificate of ownership, properly indorsed, and taking out a certificate of mortgage in favour of the mortgagee, and in favour of the mortgagor. The mortgage would be a new certificate of ownership, subject to the mortgage, transferred by indorsing and surrendering the certificate of mortgage, and taking out a new one in the transferee's name; and it would be discharged by indorsing and surrendering the certificate of mortgage, and cancelling the recorded entry of it. "A LEASE would be effected by a deed, as at present. It would be deposited at the register office. The landlord's certificate of ownership would be surrendered and replaced by a new certificate of ownership, subject to the lease. The lessee would receive a certificate of lease. The lease might be assigned by indorsing and surrendering the certificate of lease, and taking out a new one in the assignee's name. It might be surrendered by being transmitted to the registrar with a proper indorsement upon it. On the expiration of the term, the recorded certificate of lease would be cancelled. "A JUDGMENT would be registered by entering the particulars of it at the creditor's peril against any properties standing in the debtor's name. The judgment creditor would receive a certificate importing the registration of the judgment, and his lien would be discharged by indorsing and surrendering the certificate of judgment. "We proceed now to the "EQUITABLE Register. "Suppose an estate to have been transferred by the means above described into the names of the trustees of a settlement. The trustees would thus have become the holders of duplicate certificates, distinguished from other certificates by a common number, and guarded, as between themselves, by distinct private marks or numbers. It is further desired to give the beneficiaries a direct control over the trustees. For this purpose the recorded and issued certificates of legal ownership would express that the property was under trust, and would contain a reference to a page in the equitable register; and the same notification and reference would be continued in any substituted certificates for the trust property, so long as it remained such. "The settlement, or a duplicate of it, would be deposited at the register-office, and conveniently bound up in a book. "The page of the equitable register, referred to as above mentioned by the certificates of legal ownership, would form an index to the roots of equitable titles arising under the registered settlement. "Any person claiming an equitable interest under the settlement, whether existing at its date or arising afterwards, would be entitled to register his name and address as those of the owner of such equitable interest. He would receive an official certificate of equitable registration, authenticated by a distinguishing number, and entitling the person named in it to a moderate notice previous to the passing of a legal transfer. "The registered equitable title would be assignable by deeds registered according to Lord Campbell's plan; and, on the occasion of every registration of an assignment, the current certificate of equitable registration would be surrendered, and a new one taken out in favour of the assignee. "Let it now be supposed, that the trustees, as registered legal owners, propose to transfer the property. Before allowing the transfer, the registrar turns to the appropriate page of the equitable register, where he finds entries of several subsisting equitable titles, each standing registered in the name of its owner, whose address is also entered. Notices are sent accordingly, by post, from the register-office. If the registered equitable proprietors are cognizant of the intended transfer by the trustees, and consenting to it, they fill up and sign a printed form of consent, indorsed on their certificates of equitable registration, and transmit them by post to the registrar. Otherwise the transfer is either delayed for perhaps a month, to afford to the equitable proprietors an opportunity of interfering to prevent it, or else made subject to their registered interests. "It has been suggested that difficulties might arise in case of the accidental loss of certificates. The committee do not, however, entertain any apprehension on this point, for it is not found in practice that persons lose their certificates of shares or their title-deeds. The proposed certificates would be instruments of some bulk made out on sheets of demy paper, with large official seals upon them. Forms of this kind have been under the attentive consideration of the committee, and will be laid before the society. "The question of expense has been already sufficiently considered by the committee in their first report. The principal item would be the cost of the original survey and map, which would not exceed 1s. an acre, and might be greatly reduced, if not altogether saved, wherever a tithe communication map of the first class already exists. | "On the whole, the committee, after having bestowed much time and attention upon the plan before them, see no reason to doubt that it might be rendered perfectly efficient for the purposes for which it is designed; and they are of opinion that its adoption would raise the market value of landed property without diminishing its security."
